4 of the Best PlayStation 4 Exclusive Games Released So Far

The PlayStation 4 has been outselling its competition ever since it hit the market in November 2013. To help all those gamers figure out what to play on their PlayStation 4, we’ve scoured the review sites to find the best exclusive games currently available for Sony’s newest console and nowhere else. There’s some good stuff on here, so if you haven’t picked up a PS4 yet, take a look at these games and see if it might be time to change that.

4. inFamous: Second Son

The inFamous series is kind of like Grand Theft Auto with superheroes. In this installment, the government is imprisoning people with special powers so they can’t cause harm to the rest of society. Obviously, this doesn’t sit well with the superheroes. Wringing tons of graphical power from the PlayStation 4, inFamous: Second Son brings a gorgeously fictionalized version of Seattle to life. The incredible graphics are due in large part to the fact that it’s a PS4 exclusive, which means the developers didn’t have to make it compatible with last-gen hardware. If using a city as a playground for a variety of super powers sounds like a good time to you, be sure to grab this one.

3. Resogun

If intense, fast-paced space ship shooters are more your thing (think Life Force or Space Invaders), Resogun has your name on it. This gorgeous PS4 exclusive tests your reflexes by sending horde after horde of enemy aircraft onto the screen and trusting you have the thumb skills to blast them all away before being overpowered. Instead of taking place on a flat 2D surface, however, each level takes place on the side of a cylinder. That means that enemies you miss on the left can swoop around and attack you from the right. It also means you have more maneuverability, because you can fly your ship left or right to help tackle the enemies the game throws at you. With plenty of weapons at your disposal and a never-ending focus on achieving a high score, Resogun is a game that’s easy to keep playing well past bedtime.

2. Bloodborne

Bloodborne will break you down. But if you remain steadfast and keep giving it your all, it will rebuild you into much better shape than when you started. This bleak title is set in a Victorian steampunk city whose streets are teeming with some of the most frightful creatures ever created. You explore the world, exterminating every enemy you find, including towering bosses that are all but guaranteed to give you nightmares. Success is hard-won, but it’s all the sweeter for it. If you like a finely crafted game that pulls no punches, Bloodborne will give you dozens of hours of enjoyment.

1. The Last of Us: Remastered

Sure, The Last of Us was a PlayStation 3 game, but this remastered version is exclusive to the PlayStation 4. The game takes place after a fungal outbreak has destroyed the world, but the focus is really on the relationship between two protagonists as they make their way across a post-apocalyptic U.S. Thanks to the extra horsepower of the PlayStation 4, the game now runs in full 1080p resolution, with 60 frames per second. This edition also comes with all of the DLC released for the original game, plus a commentary track you can listen to as you play through the campaign. The Last of Us: Remastered is the definitive version of one of the best games ever made, which makes it land in first place on the list.
